Classifying regencies and cities on human development index dimensions: Application of K-Means cluster analysis

Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a measurement that analyzes a region's development in improving human development. The government's development plan aims to create a successful and peaceful life. The unbalanced development in every regency and city in Indonesia is a typical issue during the development process. It may also be shown that the HDI level changes across regencies and cities in Indonesia. This research aims to identify Indonesian regencies and cities based on HDI indices. K-Means clustering algorithm is the clustering method adopted. The results of the analysis formed 4 clusters. The first cluster consisted of 20 regencies with a low average HDI indicator. The second cluster consisted of 148 regencies and cities with an average HDI indicator is medium. The third cluster consisted of 88 regencies and cities with an average HDI indicator. The fourth cluster consists of 258 regencies and cities with high HDI indicators.

Human Development Clustering in Indonesia: Using K-Means Method and Based on Human Development Index Categories

“…Much research has been carried out regarding the grouping of human development in Indonesia based on HDI indicators by using cluster analysis, such as hierarchical clustering [5], K-Means [4], [5], [10], K-Medoids [5], and Fuzzy C-Means [10]. The researchers found that the number of clusters is four clusters using K-Means [4], [5], [10] and Fuzzy C-Means [10], but two clusters for hierarchical clustering and five clusters for indah.fahmiyah@ftmm.unair.ac.id K-Medoids [5]. HDI grouping in a particular area in Indonesia was also carried out [1], [11], [12].…”

Identifikasi Sebaran Karakteristik Kriminal di Indonesia Tahun 2021 Menggunakan Model-Based Clustering

“…Karakteristik objek yang digunakan dalam analisis cluster berasal dari variabel. Variabel dalam analisis cluster harus saling bebas dan tidak memiliki korelasi satu dengan yang lain (Nurhasanah et al, 2021). Salah satu metode dalam analisis cluster adalah Model-Based Clustering yang diperkenalkan pertama kali oleh Banfield & Raftery (1993).…”

Teachers' Performance in Indonesian Secondary Schools: Does Motivation Matter?

“…Human Development Index (HDI) is an indicator to observe the level of human development in a region (Nurhasanah et al, 2021). Banda Aceh is one of the cities in Indonesia that is trying to improve the performance of its educational institutions to create quality human development.…”
